Re: [IRCA] WDHP overpowered?

["Gerry Bishop" <gerryb4991@xxxxxxx>]

When I talked with the owner of WDHP a couple of years ago, he was surprised
to have been heard in the Florida panhandle.  He told me he was running 4kw
at night, 10kw daytime.  The transmitter was rated to 12kw, he said.  This
was 2003, IIRC.  No telling now what they're doing, but I wouldn't imagine
it's changed all that much.

If they are 100kw, it certainly has made no difference here in the NE US.
They are poor at best.  When the first went on, I don't think they powered
down from 10kw. Often quite listenable on a car radio in Providence.  I do
check them frequently here, and nada.  RVC-530 is almost always
entertainment level for comparison.

I'd wager only a kilowatt, as licensed.
